Artmarket.com Releases Financial Report for First Half of 2026

Artmarket.com announced the release of its interim financial report for the six months ending June 30, 2026. The 120-page report has been made publicly available and filed with the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).

Despite inflationary pressures, rising energy prices, increased interest rates, and geopolitical conflicts, Artmarket.com's turnover reached €4.26 million in the first half of 2026. This figure represents the second-highest revenue in the company's history since its founding in 1997.

The company has transitioned to statutory accounting as of June 30, 2025, with a strategic focus on its Intuitive Artmarket® AI. This shift involved the spin-off of its subsidiary LSJE (Le Serveur Judiciaire Européen) and the voluntary cessation of Artprice Inc.'s operations. Consequently, Artmarket.com has ceased applying IFRS standards, deeming them no longer suitable for its current scale.

The net result for the period was a loss of €0.26 million, compared to a profit of €0.08 million in the same period of the previous year. This is attributed to significant global marketing campaigns, particularly for the launch of Artprice News in the United States. While these campaigns yielded substantial results in terms of search engine visibility and Google alerts, they also incurred non-recurring launch expenses.

Artprice plans to leverage its extensive physical archive, which holds the world's largest collection of auction catalogs and manuscripts from 1700 to the present. The company projects that its AI technology will enable it to multiply its unique data volume by a factor of 25 to 30 between 2026 and 2030, with minimal impact on costs and potential for exponential revenue growth.
